Grr. Argh. Also Fic Rec and Stuff

[amberfocus]

Darn it, I do not need this doggone Eleven/Rose plot bunny dancing around in my head.  Make.  It.  Go.  Away.  I have too much else to write right now.

Am up late being distracted by other people's fic.  Oh, fic rec while I'm at it:  One Last Stop (Rose) by tasogareban, part one of which is found here http://tasogareban.livejournal.com/29882.html.  It is completed.  Not chapter linked yet, but you can find part 2 and 3 easily enough on her LJ page.  Ten/Rose, has smut, and the ending made me cry like a baby.  She broke my heart with it.  But sooooooooo good.

My knee is being stupid.  It hurts and is keeping me awake.  The quadricep is all locked up no matter what I do to stretch it.  I wish I could find my hydrocodone.  I had half a bottle left in February.  I know it's around somewhere.  Ibuprofen is not cutting it.  I made the mistake of getting down on my knees to clean the floor last week and my left knee has been killing me ever since.  It's swollen and I've been icing it.  I mean it's been ten months since the surgery.  This should not be happening.

I've had to cut back on my swimming.  Well, not timewise, but lapwise.  I'm doing at least 1/2 mile still, but I am not kicking with my right leg much at all.  It just sort of floats behind me.  It is quite a bit harder to swim laps with only your arms and one leg but I do not want to stop my exercising.  So it is taking me 50 minutes or so to do 26 laps instead of 40.  I hate that I have to cut back but after the one day swimming flat out my knee killed and there was like a clicking thing going on.  I don't need to reinjure myself permanently.  I'm calling the doctor on Monday.  The pain has improved but I want to make sure it's going to be okay.  It's better than that first day but still hurting and still swollen.  I hope I don't get sent for another MRI.  Those things are expensive.

I suppose I'm guilty of distracting you. I thought mine would be short... Obviously I was wrong. I'm not sure if anyone really cares, except perhaps me. *shrug*

But Eleven/Rose? Sounds like quite a bunny.

And that completely sucks. I hope it is nothing serious. Clicking is not good.

Eleven/Rose, eh? I bet you finish yours before I finish mine! ;)

Sorry your knee is being stupid. I hope it feels better soon.

Ooh, that sucks about your knee. Good for you for still exercising, though. Even some is better than not at all.

My mom has had chronic knee problems since she was in college. It doesn't take much for her to set it off nowadays. For a few months in 2008 it got so bad she had to use crutches. She's found that when she's having a flairup, icing (like you're doing), staying off of it (but that might just be an excuse to watch TV, lol), and using a cane when she has to be mobile helps a lot.

I'm so sorry about your knee, sweetie. I hope it feels better soon.

*hugs you*

Sorry about your knee. Have you tried Ibuprofin, followed by Tylenol two hours later and switching off thusly every two hours? It seems to give me some relief when my back is flaring up.

I hope everything gets better for you. I agree with Milieva, clicking is not good. PLease take care of yourself my friend.

But... I would actually read and enjoy an Eleven/Rose fic by you! Listen to the bunnies...

Sorry to hear about your leg. I hope it's nothing serious and expensive!
